Additionally you can use MiFi in USB modem mode (tethered modem) by plugging it into a USB port on your computer.

This years annual IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship will take place in Cologne, Germany on May 7th – May 23rd 2010. 16 teams will compete, playing 56 games in total.

If you are attending this year’s Ice Hockey Championships ensure that you receive reduced costs on your mobile and data bills by renting a handset and a German SIM solution from Cellhire. This will guarantee that your mobile calls will be a lot cheaper than if you were to ‘roam’ on your existing mobile network.

Cellhire can also provide mobile data solutions which ensure wherever you are, you can have instant access to emails and internet. This is also a cost effective solution to using your existing data device and roaming.

Cellhire is world leader in voice and data rental for events. Visit the events section of the website www.cellhire.co.uk/events to find out about all the up-and-coming events that Cellhire will be supporting this year.

Due to a cloud of volcanic ash, all flights in and out of the UK and several other European countries were suspended, leaving travellers stranded abroad and unable to get to their destination of choice. Unforeseen situations such as this reaffirm the importance of being contactable at all times; be it with family and friends to assure them you are safe, colleagues – to rearrange meetings and deadlines or simply so you are in touch with up-to-the-minute and correct information.

It is in situations such as this that communications are vital. In foreign countries the cost of roaming can mean you are hit with high mobile and data bills on your return. Whilst the additional and unpredicted costs of hotel bills, transport, alternative flights etc all add up, this doesn’t have to be the case with your mobile phone bills. Cellhire specialise in renting low cost voice and data solutions. By utilising a local airtime SIM card, this can reduce your mobile call cost by 70% when compared to roaming. Cellhire also provide data solutions which are ideal for working outside of an office environment. A USB modem can provide instant access to email and the internet ensuring that, even if you can’t be at meetings in person, all other attendees can still access to the information they need from you.

In preparation for the World Cup in South Africa, Cellhire has put together some very competitive data offers to ensure you stay connected throughout the event.

If you are attending the prestigious football event, surfing the internet and accessing email in South Africa can prove expensive. Instead of being hit with high data bills on your return, rent a BlackBerry device from Cellhire. One single payment covers the entire event period from the 15th of May right through to 31st of July so there’s no need for daily or weekly rental rates. With a Cellhire BlackBerry and South African airtime you can have the best of both worlds: cost savings and convenience!

Alternatively you can rent a USB Modem, a solution that offers a simple and hassle-free method of connecting to the Internet while in South Africa.
